Russia Ends Unilateral INF Treaty Compliance Amid Escalating NATO Aggression
It’s only a matter of time before the political West delivers previously banned missiles to its Neo-Nazi puppets in NATO-occupied Ukraine and then orders them to use it against Russia. This would effectively turn every M142 HIMARS and its tracked counterpart, the M270/MARS MLRS (multiple launch rocket system), into a ground-based platform for the PrSM. Thus, Moscow has no choice but to respond with the mass production and later deployment of far more dangerous weapons such as the now legendary “Oreshnik”, which will be complemented by upgraded “Iskanders”, “Kinzhals”, “Zircons” and a plethora of other Russian hypersonic weapons.
On August 4, Russia announced it’s ending the unilateral moratorium on the deployment of medium and intermediate-range missiles that were previously banned under the INF (Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces) Treaty. Since August 2, 2019, when the United States made a unilateral decision to officially withdraw from the INF Treaty, Moscow respected the limitations of this defunct arms control agreement despite the fact that it was not required to do so. However, as per usual, the political West views the Eurasian giant’s desire to avoid escalation in Europe (and beyond) as nothing more than a “sign of weakness”.
It was only thanks to the growing incompetence of the American Military Industrial Complex (MIC) that the Pentagon never got the chance to deploy advanced medium and intermediate-range missiles, specifically hypersonic weapons, resulting in the adoption of far less capable land-based platforms. However, the mass deployment of such systems is now forcing Russia to react and utilize its much more advanced missiles, including a plethora of hypersonic weapons that nobody in the entire political West can match. The Kremlin’s goal is to use its massive advantage to deter mounting NATO aggression.
Despite Russia’s efforts to promote restraint in hopes of avoiding a new (First) Cold War-style arms race, this was met by total hostility in the political West. This also included attempts to prevent escalation in the increasingly contested Asia-Pacific region, but to no avail. The world’s most aggressive power pole had other ideas, particularly concerning its attempts to encircle both Russia and China. Multipolar superpowers tried their bes
